Some feedback on the White Hat Website

"We (myself, husband and 5 and 8 yo) decide to take your advice {in the White Hat newsletter] on Sunday and headed into the city using our Sunday Saver tickets. We didn't quite make to The Potter as we got side-tracked visiting The Magic Tent at the Art Centre, followed by a visit to The Ian Potter Centre where the kids took part in the NGV's Biggest (Kids) Drawing Ever. We now have to make sure we go back in Sept for them to see the finished product. We then caught the tram to Gasworks where we had a lovely time talking to Children's Illustrator Ann James. My daughters were thrilled to be read a book which doesn't go on the shelves for months yet (they were told they only about the 10th people to hear it) and then we had a leisurely browse of the bookshop while the rain poured down outside. The girls chose a book each, raced back up the stairs to get Ann James to sign the one illustrated by her, and then we finished with hot drinks in the cafe and a look at some of the artwork. A great way to spend a rainy day and it cost us very little."

"I have just stumbled across your website and I love it! It’s so good to have all that’s on in Melbourne on one site. Thank you."

"I like getting all this info...it's easier using your web site and email than searching What's On in Melbourne via Google - ( search by date? by subject? - if you know all that you don't need to search, that's why White Hat is good)."

"The White Hat site is amazing - I can't believe how many things happen in this city that I don't take full advantage of! I have a friend visiting from Brisbane in a fortnight's time, and this site has helped me with dozens of ideas for what to do while he's here. Keep up the excellent work!"

SCIENCE NEWS
Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner

White Hat congratulates Dr Elizabeth Blackburn on becoming Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner. Readers of our site will know that we have predicted that she would become a Nobel Prize winner for some time and that Elizabeth Blackburn has long been on our list of 200 Significant Australians and 100 Important Living Australians despite the National Trust Living Treasures list passing over her and people like Fields Medal winner Terry Tao in favour of minor media presenters. Congratulations Dr Blackburn from those thousands who like you studied science at the University of Melbourne.

INVENTIONS NEWS
Australian Invention wins International Award

White Hat congratulates the two Australians, Phil Ashworth and Dr. Graham Robertson whose invention for baiting commercial long lines underwater is expected to save many thousands of seabirds each year from becoming accidently hooked and drowned by the fishing activities of coastal tuna and swordfish vessels worldwide. The World Wildlife Fund announced in Viga, Spain, that the invention had won their 2009 award to reward innovations from a field of 71 competitors from 27 countries. The award aims to minimise ‘bycatch’ (unintended and wasted wildlife casualties of commercial fishing) by rewarding and inspiring individuals and companies who create what they adjudge to be best inventions that achieve that purpose. The next award will be made in 2011. For more information about Australian inventions go to The White Hat Guide to Australian Inventions.
